Topical Treatment
Topical treatments like dimethylsulfoxide or DMSO can also be an effective option to relieve pain caused by muscle cramps. DMSO is a lightly oily, clear liquid that can be applied directly to your skin to alleviate pain, inflammation, and swelling. You just need to make a solution of 2 parts DMSO and 1 part water, then rub into your skin for around 3 times per day. DMSO is available in both gel and liquid form. However, you should go for the liquid to avoid irritation and itching. [8]
